Halloween: Trick or Treat?

Somewhere between a trick to get viewers to the sequel to a 40-year-old movie and a treat that can be compared to a Payday candy bar, Halloween, the 2018 edition, is a serviceable slasher flick.

Four decades after her world was upended by a knife-wielding lunatic, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is busy with her daughter and granddaughter and living in Haddonfield in a fortress-like home. Now, the day she's dreaded, and prepared for, has come. Michael Myers has escaped and he's coming to get her. And everyone else.

Like any horror movie worthy of the genre, Halloween has its hokey moments. The police know the maniac is at lodge. But hey, let's not ruin the kiddies' fun by alerting the community.

And so the stage is set for a bloody, gory frightfest. Enjoy
